Seattle TimesThe attorney for the Green River killer says Gary L. Ridgway is expected to plead guilty to a count of aggravated murder filed Monday in connection with the slaying of a 20-year-old woman who vanished after leaving a SeaTac motel in 1982.
...
The woman, Rebecca "Becky" Marrero, was long believed to be a victim of Ridgway, who confessed to her slaying when he agreed to plead guilty to 48 other murders eight years ago in a deal that spared his life. But it wasn't until December, after three teens stumbled upon her remains in an Auburn ravine, that prosecutors had the evidence they needed to charge Ridgway on Monday with her slaying.
...
If Ridgway decides to plead not guilty, he could jeopardize the earlier plea deal and could potentially face the death penalty, according to the King County Prosecuting Attorney's Office.

"In the end it wasn't about what Gary Ridgway deserved. He deserved no mercy; he deserved the death penalty," Satterberg said on Monday. "In the end it was about what the families deserved."
